THE LORD'S PRAYER: All I Need Every Day - Matthew 6:11
If you've been with us over the past few weeks, you know we've been walking through a series on the Lord's prayer. If you're new with us, welcome, we're really glad you're here. We're going to be diving into one of the stanzas in this prayer and trying to ask God God, what do you want us to hear from this portion of this model prayer that you gave your disciples to pray -- a way for them to interact with you.
I grew up in a church that was sorta "high church." It was a Presbyterian church and the pastor wore a robe every Sunday when he preached. I think it was because he didn't want to think about what he wore under it. Every time he prayed....he had this sorta booming voice....his name was Ben Patterson and every time he prayed, you just felt like the Shekinah glory of the Lord filled the room. I can remember as a kid sitting there, going I don't think I'll ever be able to pray like that. I don't think I'll ever be able to talk to God in a way that I really feel like he hears me, because I don't know that many big words and I don't know how to do that and I don't know how to enter in..... I can remember feeling almost a little discouraged by prayer as a young kid because I felt so distant from the way it was suppose to be done.
